It’s still officially summer, but I broke out my slow cooker today.  I think about slow cooker meals as an essential for the fall and winter ….so I am getting a bit of a jump start! 🙂 I tossed some chicken tenders, diced tomatoes, cumin, chipotle chili powder and 2 of my farm share bell […]

I whipped up a smoothie today with some ingredients I had on hand. Do you remember the Harry Nielsson song titled, Coconut? “You put de lime in de coconut, you drank ’em bot’ up “ Well that is exactly what I did…BUT I added some blueberries and yogurt too! {and of course, some chia seeds} I am […]

Well…Hello. Today, I made Mustard-y Pretzel Crusted Chicken. Whoa…Nelly! This recipe was sooooooo good.  For non-FODMAPs simply use regular pretzels, I used gluten free Snyder’s pretzels today.   Well…I feel like I have been away from my blog for some time now… We had a wonderfully blissful time in Nantucket last week on vacation.  It […]

Every Tuesday, I pick up my CSA farm share at Tangerini’s Farm in Millis, Massachusetts. I call Tangerini’s ‘my happy place’ and truly… it really is! Rows of vegetables growing in the sunlight, kids enjoying soft serve ice cream, chickens clucking and little farm kittens running a muck! And the sunflowers are amazing! Every Tuesday, […]

I hope your week is off to a good start.  We started with a bit of rain this morning but the sun is shining which means I will take my furry friend Lucy for a walk shortly.  I love taking Lucy for a stroll during the day–she’s a good friend and walking buddy! Here’s she […]
